My school only allows us to go on one to two trips a year. I feel as though real-world experiences are essential to make connections while learning. My principal says because we are Title I we can not ask for much money from the parents. Are there any other solutions other than fundraising?
Great ideas!
This is a wonderful idea! I would have never thought to bring the trip to the class.
Virtual trips are a great idea!
I would suggest looking at your school campus. There is a plethora of places you could take the students on a field trip around the school. You could involve science and look for certain eco systems, clouds types, and weather patterns on the playground. Social studies adventures could take the students to places and people you are learning about in the classroom. Create a mock city or village and have the students role play a scene outside or in a different room in the school, cafeteria or library.
Very creative solutions! By using all the resources available to the teacher the student can experience learning with different methods.
This is very thoughtful and smart, I would attempt this.
The problem with fundraising is you may not make enough money for the field trip and that's disappointing and difficult for the student to understand.
This is a great idea but it is also true that you might not reach the set goal forcing you to cancel the trip.
